Jane is a slave on a Georgia plantation in 1842. One evening, five newly enslaved Africans suddenly disappear from the slave quarters. Jane follows the overseer and master and finds the slaves in the field, whirling rapidly around in a circle. One by one, they step up in the air, move their arms like wings, and rise into the sky. A tale about the power of and desire for freedom, when "Africans could fly like birds-way up and over everything." Author's note. Full-color watercolor illustrations.
